Herb Grilled Chicken

Atrue sign that warmer weather is here? The aromas from outdoor grills filling up the senses! Catching a deep breath of food cooking on a grill makes a person’s mouth start to water – and the savory fragrance of herbs can magnify the experience. Whether fresh or dried, herbs are an excellent way to avoid higher sodium options for enhancing a food’s flavor. This recipe is also delicious with pork chops substituted for the chicken breasts.

Note: When using fresh herbs, use one tablespoon fresh herb for every teaspoon of dried herb.

Side note: Looking for an easy side to accompany this recipe? Cut zucchini, yellow squash, and eggplant length-wise into 1/2-inch thick pieces and place in a resealable bag.
